2010 - Part I (Kellisa's First 18 Years)

 We continued submitting on children into the new year without any success. We were lucky if we received an automatic email reply with the subject, "Your Submittal Has Been Received". 

 

Our first trip of the year was during Kellisa's spring break a week after I completed my 2nd Bataan Memorial Death March. The first weekend was also Easter, so we spent a few days in Texas visiting family before Lisa went home and Kellisa and headed for a week in the Southwest. While in Texas, we went for a nice hike at Brazos Bend State Park where we enjoyed its abundant birds and alligators.

 

Kellisa Starts a New All-Inclusive Dance Class

Spotlight Studios

Roseville, CA

October 13, 2025

After taking many years of dance classes with yearly recitals in Florida, we were disappointed we couldn't find an adaptive dance studio for Kellisa in Roseville, CA. We mostly gave up when out of nowhere, Egypt's longtime singing coach expanded his business to include a dance studio and fortunate for Kellisa, he included an adaptive class where Kellisa was the first student to sign up. Kellisa wasted no time getting into the flow of dancing and loved every second with her more than awesome dance instructor. Kellisa's huge smile and endless kisses of thanks and appreciation brought tears to our eyes. We are so thankful to have this activity in place for Kellisa.

We highly recommend Spotlight Studios for music, dance, theater, and education.
